Solution - Long subtraction
368
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom, aligned by their place values
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 4 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
2. Subtract the numbers using long subtraction method
Because the upper digit (0) in the ones column is too small to get a positive difference, borrow 1 from the number to the left (60) which becomes (59) and get (10).
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 9 | 10 | ||
| 4 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
Subtract the numbers in the ones column from the top number:
10-2=8
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 9 | 10 | ||
| 4 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
| 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the tens column from the top number:
9-3=6
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 9 | 10 | ||
| 4 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
| 6 | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the hundreds column from the top number:
5-2=3
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 9 | 10 | ||
| 4 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
| 3 | 6 | 8 |
Subtract the numbers in the thousands column from the top number:
4-4=0
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 5 | 9 | 10 | ||
| 4 | 6 | 0 | 0 | |
| - | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
| 0 | 3 | 6 | 8 |
The solution is: 368
